Description: Intel remote module extensions MIB providing proprietary SNMP objects for remote management card configuration and status.
Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.
What Is INTEL-RMODEXT-MIB?
INTEL-RMODEXT-MIB is an Intel enterprise MIB (extending INTEL-GEN-MIB's modulesext arc) that defines router-module hardware extension objects for Intel-branded routers, rather than a "remote management card" as the input hint description suggests — the actual DESCRIPTION clauses and object names (rmodextGModuleHwEncryption, rmodextGModuleSwState, rmodextGModuleRamFree) describe per-module hardware/software status on Intel router chassis. Its single table, rmodextGModuleTable (indexed by rmodextGModuleChassisIndex and rmodextGModuleIndex, mirroring INTEL-GEN-MIB's chassis/module indexing), exposes whether a module supports hardware or software encryption (rmodextGModuleHwEncryption/SwEncryption), the module's post-cold-reset self-test result (rmodextGModuleSwState: testing/noError/error), free RAM in kilobytes (rmodextGModuleRamFree), and version strings (rmodextGModuleSwVersion, rmodextGModuleBootSectionVersion, rmodextGModulePbaNo). This makes it useful for confirming a router module came up healthy after a reset and has the expected encryption capability and firmware/boot-PROM versions. It depends on INTEL-GEN-MIB for its OID root and general module/chassis indexing conventions, and is deployed on Intel router chassis products from the late-1990s era; the INTEL-RMODEXT-MIB MIB documents these legacy objects for anyone still managing such hardware.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in INTEL-RMODEXT-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.
Supported Devices
- Intel router chassis products (1990s Intel router line)
Monitoring Examples
An operator polls rmodextGModuleSwState for a given chassis/module index immediately after a cold reset to confirm it reads noError(2) rather than error(3), and checks rmodextGModuleRamFree to ensure available memory hasn't degraded; a module stuck in testing(1) or reporting error(3) would indicate a failed self-test requiring hardware attention.
What Can Be Monitored
- hardware/software encryption capability flags
- post-reset module self-test state
- free RAM (KB)
- software/boot-PROM version strings
- PBA hardware revision number
